CNN in New York is infested with bed bugs.

The current scourge of the Big Apple has struck the TV news giant, reports TVNewser.com.

TVNewser reports that CNN’s human resources department of TBS Inc. fired an email out alerting employees of a bed bug problem in their New York City offices at Time Warner Center — home to CNN, CNNMoney.com and other Time Warner entities.

A CNN spokesperson told TVNewser: “The building management is addressing the issue and is taking immediate action.”

The email read:

August 13, 2010
To: TBS, Inc. Employees
From: TBS, Inc. Human Resources

The Time Warner Center Facilities Department advises that bed bugs have been detected in Time Warner Center.

This determination was made after testing was conducted on several floors of the building. In response, Time Warner Facilities is working with pest control providers to address the issue in an environmentally safe manner, and during non-working hours.

Generally, bed bugs do not carry or transmit disease. Information about bed bugs and their eradication is available at http://home2.nyc.gov/html/doh/downloads/pdf/vector/vector-faq1.pdf

If you have questions, please contact your HR adviser. And be assured that Turner Broadcasting is committed to maintaining a safe and healthy working environment.
